Make each session count
For a listening exercise, prepare five short labels: location, event, person, vehicle and hazard. Record the location exactly and summarize the event in a few words. After grading, pick one missed detail to improve on the next call rather than trying to change everything at once.
For a map exercise, read the supplied rule before selecting units. Check the location, required unit types and current availability in that order. A familiar-looking incident does not give you permission to add a rule the exercise never states.
